Bone health and osteoporosis research

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the impact of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) applied directly to the fracture line in a rat femur fracture model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 350 to 400 g were randomly and equally divided into three groups: normal control (NC), fracture…

Objective: This study aimed to compare functional outcomes, complication rates, and perioperative parameters of Cable Grip Plate and Grip Cable techniques for greater trochanter fixation in elderly patients undergoing partial hip replacement for intertrochanteric femur fractures.Materials and Methods: This study inclu…

Background and Objective The anatomy of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) varies considerably across populations, yet comprehensive Turkish‐specific morphometric data remain limited. We aim to establish normative CVJ measurements in Turkish males and females using computed tomography (CT). Study Design Retrospective…

OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome may impair bone metabolism. The aim of this study was to assess serum type-1 collagen N-terminal procollagen and beta-C terminal telopeptide levels in non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS: This cross-sectional study comprised 174 patients, 18-35 years old. Among…

This study showed significant specialty-based differences in osteoporosis management in Türkiye. Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians demonstrated the highest awareness, whereas orthopedic physicians demonstrated the lowest. Guideline use, rather than seniority, was associated with better awareness,…

Background/Objectives: Osteoporosis and osteopenia remain underdiagnosed despite routine CT examinations containing potentially useful bone information. This study evaluated the feasibility of patient-level three-class classification of Normal, Osteopenia, and Osteoporosis classes using lumbar vertebral PNG images der…

Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is known to impair bone healing, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process in alveolar sockets remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of some key regulatory proteins related to angiogenesis and bone remodeling during alveolar socket hea…

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein in the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, regulates bone metabolism by suppressing the formation and activation of osteoclasts. Nonetheless, increasing evidence underscores its physiological importance, particularly in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Elevated OPG levels are associ…

This study compared the relative strength of size-related shape change (allometry) in the chicken humerus and femur using three-dimensional geometric morphometrics. The dataset comprised 15 unilateral humeri and 15 unilateral femora. Bones were boiled to remove soft tissues, cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, and digitiz…

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid tissue stiffness measured by shear wave elastography (SWE) and the coronary artery calcium score (CACS), particularly across different score groups, and to determine whether thyroid SWE can be utilized as a noninvasive method for cardiov…
